My HVAC is only heating to 55  since Oct 1)   Talk to an attorney or landlord tenant association about what regulations he is breaking and they can advise on how she can proceed.

It took me a moment to determine ALL the bulbs had been stolen.When I looked for signs of a break-in I found a glass pane on the front door had been removed (not broken) someone reached into unlock, then they carefully set the glass pane asideThat is all.  

If I were you, I would break down the remaining $25K of expenses further as this might be a little low to me.

Don’t worry about the ethics, you have every right to charge her reasonable fees for breaking the lease.

I know Ice makers and water dispensers are the number one thing that breaks on fridges and not having them would reduce repairs.

He said if I need to file paperwork/go to court he understands and didn't seem open to breaking the lease early or a reasonable amount for cash for keys.

Key differences I see: Much higher rentMarginally higher fixed expenses around $525Marginally higher variable expenses around 725 - as it is an older house, as are all in westchester, frequently more things break, keep a larger repair budget available.If you are living in a unit then you would be on the hook for about 2545 (2345 + 200 missing cashflow). 

I am not a fan of those big windows anyways because it is easy to break a window and enter the property.

Happy to break it down further if you need an unbiased set of eyes from a mortgage veteran.Best of luck!

@Jerel Ehlert How am I specifically breaking the law?
